Yep.
If you buy one in the US, set it up there, and have it on you as if you always used it.
But even that can be dicey if your customs facilitator had a bad breakfast.
I recently ordered something that is only available in the US (not tech related). I ended up paying 2 1/2 times what you'd pay in a wallmart. Irish VAT, import 'duty' - basically their pay to process... well, the VAT payment, I suppose.
Countries work like mafia families. We protect you, you pay. Otherwise, the cops come and boil your bunny. (okay, different movie, but it introduces sociopathy )

I bet the German people are really pleased they're in a single currency with Greece, Spain, Italy et al. I don't know how the Euro is going to be sorted out, but something needs to happen. These German bargains are too good to be true, compared to what we can get here in the UK .
